- What are the dimensions of the big bag (HxWxD)?
- What is the length of the lifting straps?
- What are the length and diameter of the discharge spout?
- How much does a filled bigbag weigh?
- Does the product tend to form lumps, and/or is there a need to "massage" the bigbag during unloading?
- Does the product require special handling (ATEX, food-grade, toxic, acid/base, etc.)?
- Does the product generate dust, and is this an issue?
- Do you have a central dust extraction system in place?
- How should the product proceed in the production process (e.g., screw conveyor, rotary valve, lump breaker, magnetic detector, pneumatic transport, etc.)?
- Which signals might be relevant for your factory control system (usually load cells and level sensors)?
